Common End Connectors

Light Tubes can be supplied with either standard 30mm or mini 12.5mm common ends. Where a mini common end is used, a 30mm adaptor is required to fit a standard light source.

Mini common ends allow for more than one independently removable tube to be connected to a light source and require a smaller hole to pass through for easier installation. A maximum of three 12.5mm mini common ends can be connected to one 30mm common end.

Light Tubes provide a versatile method to give a general wash of light and can be either easily hidden from view or finished to become an integral part of the display design.

They consist of a metal tube which holds end emitting fibres at close spacings to give an even light. The points of light can be staggered if desired to cover a wider area.

Light Tubes are available in three profiles - 32mm, 38mm and 52mm diameters - as shown above. Typical spacings for the fibre tails are between 50mm and 100mm.

Light Tubes can be supplied as a straight tube with the fibre tails emerging from one or both ends, or can be manufactured as part of a gantry system.

A range of mounting brackets for tubes can be supplied. End caps are also available to cover the hole at the end of the tube.

Our range of Light Tubes are made to order, to the sizes you specify, and can be supplied in raw aluminium, polished stainless steel, or they can be custom painted .
